If you are running an online business and are submitting articles to the numerous online directories, you probably understand how tedious and tiring the whole process can be. Manually distributing just one article to the same number of directories that an article submission service delivers to can literally take you all day to do. That is why I think it is essential to outsource your article marketing to an article submission service.

An article submission service will not only submit your articles and save you a huge amount of time but will also significantly increase the number of back links to your website. Whenever you submit an article to the article directories, you get to leave a back link in the resource box (see below). You will rank higher in the search engines after you pick up more and more back links.

You don't need to have an article submission service to increase your back links. The search engines will not penalize you for submitting them manually. But think about it like this... your competition for your keywords ARE using an article submission service and are getting 20-30 back links at the same time you submit your article to just one directory. Ultimately you will not be able to beat out your competition in the search engines because they will have a complete advantage as far as ease of getting a higher number of back links per day.

What else can an article submission service do for you?

Well besides save you time, increase your back links, increase your traffic, and increase your sales, a good article submission service can also pay you well. That's right, you read that correctly. Some article submission services include an affiliate program that can pay up 35%of all the sales you bring to them. So if you look at it this way, enrolling just three people under you basically means that the article submission service will pay you!

I hope to have given you enough reason to join an article submission service and how it will help your online business. It is a decision that will involve a small monthly investment, but after all things considered, is well worth the money and will soon pay off. But now they pay me for all these great services and I am getting massive traffic from the search engines as well.

Using an article submission service will help to ensure that you will be able to compete at an equal level with your competition!
